The Richmond Shag Club was founded by a small group of lovers of shag, bop and other forms of swing dance in 1986.  The Club joined the Association of Carolina Shag Clubs (ACSC) in 1987.  

The Club currently has a vibrant mixture of married couples, dating couples, long-time single friends, and Club newcomers.  What brings and holds this diverse group together is the enjoyment of good times, good company, and good music.

The RSC is a safe and relaxing place to mingle and meet new people.  Several of our couples met at the Club or through their membership in the Shag Club.  You will also learn about fun parties and other events outside of Richmond, and make friends that might help share travel or shelter costs and provide travel companionship.

Any of the members of the Board of Directors are happy to speak with or answer questions from people considering joining or wanting to know more about the Club, the Shag, etc.
